PSA: Upcoming Wasm memory limit may break your canisters

Thanks for the share Ulan.

Could you please share the specifications as well?

Dfx isn’t the only tooling suite on the IC. For example, I’ll need to implement support for this in the Juno ecosystem, and the foundation will also need to incorporate it into the JS library @dfinity/ic-management.

Considering that creating a backup is a recommended action in case of an error, wouldn’t it be more prudent for the foundation to first propose the “Canister backup and restore” feature, which has been eagerly anticipated by everybody for a long time, before proposing this change?

I’m inquiring because I assume it hasn’t been planned that way, but if it has, that would be excellent.

Regarding the last actionable item, are there any comprehensive guides or examples available that can help community developers in migrating their large GB data from heap to stable storage? I assume the process is more complex than simply adding a clone function in a post_upgrade method.
